Pros

The compensation is great. The work-life balance varies, though it is generally good. They take personal growth seriously, giving constructive feedback often to ensure you have a chance to reach your potential. Under the right circumstances, they'll also let you work from home, which is awesome.

They take the Amazon Leadership Principles very seriously, and it's a good list. Google for it; they won't let me add a link here.

Cons

Times when management has decided on a deadline can mean overtime. This hasn't happened a lot to me yet, but it's happened once in 8 months at least.
